Setting options of eternity anniversary ring: Platinum and Gold October 29th, 2010
Stunning diamond eternity rings are extremely preferred picks for wedding jewellery or anniversary jewellery.
When you happen to be selecting eternity anniversary ring for the one you love, there are a few things you should consider. First, what kind of precious metal should you select?
It may be obvious if you are matching an existing engagement ring.
Gold has been the most preferred selection in rings for generations. 24 kt gold is pure gold. It is way too pliable to use in most jewelry production. When purchasing eternity band rings, you do not want the gold to be so soft that it bends easily. This can cause you to lose stones. Also, the gold surface would be so soft that it would easily be scratched up and start looking dull. Eighteen k gold is fairly soft, but some prefer the color of eighteen karat gold to fourteen karat. Their durability is extremely close, but eighteen kt has a slightly darker color. Compare the two when you are shopping for eternity jewelry and you can decide which you might prefer. Keep in mind that the eighteen kt gold eternity bands will need to be treated with a little more care than the fourteen k bands. They are a little bit softer and less durable. If the ring you are buying will be worn every day, then fourteen karat may be a better pick for durability.
If the white gold eternity ring you are looking at has nickel in it, then you may want to check with the person you are buying it for and make sure that they are not allergic to nickel. Many people are and you should find out what metals are included in your white gold before you purchase it.
The white gold ring will eventually start to look more like yellow gold, and you will need to get it replated.
Platinum, an extremely popular choice, costs more but the durability, quality and natural beauty of it wins hands down when it comes to precious metals.
Platinum is white, like white gold, but its color is natural and won’t wear down and turn yellow over time like white gold.
Eternity rings have small diamonds and a platinum band can really make each one count. The shine, sparkle and durability of color make platinum a quite fine pick.
